Sunday Programs

Sunday School ( 3 Years - 4th Grade)   |   God Squad (5th + 6th Grade)   |   Stepping Stones 


Children in Worship

Psalm 98:4 "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise."

At Immanuel we rejoice having children with us in worship!! Will they always be quiet and well behaved? No, but occasional noise and activity is an important part of the commitment we make at each child's baptism to support their caregivers in faith development and teaching about worship. Thanks be to God for this joyful noise!

Children's programming 2025-2026 begins September 7 (Welcome Weekend) and ends on May 4.

 

Worship at Immanuel

9:00 a.m. - Traditional Worship

10:30 a.m. - Contemporary Worship (outdoors from June 22- August 31, 2025)

  • Nursery is available on Sunday mornings! More...

 

Sunday School (3 Years - 4th Grade)

Sundays, 9am and 10:30am

  • Children learn Bible stories and truths in small groups in a variety of ways- reading the Bible, having conversations about the stories, playing games to get the stories into their bodies, and using art as a way to understand the stories.
  • We begin in a large group to practice worship aspects (music, offering, passing the peace) and introduce the church season and story for the day.
  • Students have the opportunity to grow in relationship with the children their age, older helpers, and adult mentors of the congregation. They also grow in their relationship with God!

God Squad (Pre-Confirmation for 5th & 6th Graders)

Sundays, 9 a.m. only

So is this Sunday School or Confirmation? Neither, it is pre-confirmation, transitioning kids out of Sunday school and preparing them for confirmation. Classes are like Sunday school, in that kids will learn in fun and engaging ways, AND like confirmation as kids will continue to build a foundation of Old and New Testament knowledge, and delve into the Lutheran sacraments of Baptism and Communion, as well as choose a service project to participate in each year.

One Story Sundays

Once a month, everyone in church will be reading, learning, and talking about the same story. This is an exciting way to engage in conversation as a whole family! Everyone will interact with the Bible story in age-based ways with intergenerational learning aspects woven through the time of worship and learning. Children will begin by gathering in worship and sitting with their families in the sanctuary. Before the message, the Spark Story Bible will be read and shared with children and the congregation. Children will exit the sanctuary after the reading and go to Sunday School or God Squad- one time volunteers from the congregation are welcome at this time! The story will be developed in both worship and in Sunday School and God Squad so that all generations can discuss the story of the day.

One Story Sundays

  • October 12 
  • November 16
  • January 25
  • March 1
  • March 29 - Palm Sunday
